Installing Drupal

I have instaaled Drupal 7 right now, after completing the installation i am failed to login to admin panel, though I am using the correct username and password, please help.

I have put full details of my installation here so I can get help but basically after installing and re-installing three times I get the next part but not sure if this is just a pathing issue from Apache but tried three diferetn ways to do it and same issue each time.

http://localhost/drupal shows base drupal page
shows data enetered in Configure Site in header
shows Drupal logo
Page not Found
The requested page "/drupal/" could not be found.

Steps:

installed Ubuntu 14.04 on new hard drive

Hi All,

I'm having issues running the install script on a Drupal fresh install. Have followed the official install guide and paid particular attention to php settings but navigating to the base url give me a WSOD with no errors in logs while targeting the /install.php give me the following error.

PHP Fatal error: Class 'DrupalDefaultEntityController' not found in /var/www/vhosts/net/inmtxx/awaken/modules/user/user.module on line 300

Any hints on what I might have done wrong would be greatly appreciated..

for whatever reason I was told by bluehost my sites had malware and the suspended my accounts, couldn't find it, they reloaded everything and now it is a mess. I was able to export and save to my computer the sql files on myphpadmin and they told me to start fresh. So I did problem is when I import the saved sql files it just puts them in the database so now there is 2 of everything with just different prefix ( user & IHX user) for all the files. what am I doing wrong I have tried it over 10 times with no luck.

Installed drupal 7.34, install.php was all success, but admin doesn't have any menu links beside create new user account.
I am logged in, still no menu links?
how do you get admin side links to show up?

Right now my website is running on the wordpress platform. Can i use Drupal platform for the same website. If yes then how?
